Hi Daniel,

Are you sure it's not a California Pink Pepper tree (Schinus molle) with unripe fruit?  I'm including a photo.  It's a big tree with a weeping habit. Black pepper trees (piper nigrum) produce black, green, and white pepper - the only difference is the stage in which it is harvested  Real Chili Peppers (Capsicum)are herbaceous plants, not trees.
If neither of these is it, let me know, and I'll research it further.  A photo from you if you can get one would be great.

Thanks,
Susan
